Photo Shoot with 2

WOW!!!! Holy Cow!!! They really need to put these kind of things in a parent manual. I had an appointment today at 10:00 a.m. to get the kiddos' pictures taken. Rocco had a SUPER nap this morning! I thought perfect! This will put him in a great mood for pictures. Jillian was very good this morning too AND let me put her hair in pigtails (well, with a lot of bribery). We got there on time. We changed the kiddos into their adorable outfits. Let's roll!!!

First off, every time the flash went off, Rocco cried like we had shot somebody. Big crocodile tears!!! He has never reacted like that (of course, right??)

Then the photographer kept "threatening" Jillian that she was going to tickle her toes. Well, Jillian would SCREAM and throw her feet up in the air. Not attractive for a picture!! The screaming was not helpful to the Rocco situation. The lady would not quit saying it so I just gave up.

All in all, very stressful but the pictures turned out cute b/c well, they are so darn cute. Wearing the cutest outfits that money can buy. ;-) It doesn't matter if they are smiling or not.

This is the best picture of the two of them together. Our photo is zoomed in and looks pretty good.

Our poser.

Bows, bows everywhere!!!

About to fall over...

As a fellow (amateur) photographer, we thought the lady did not set this picture up correctly. Jillian is too tall to stand behind Roc. Their heads are too far away. I never say anything in the moment. Why?? Why do I care if I suggest something else? Got to get more outspoken!!

Rocco finally started to warm up.

Big eyes, big smile!!

Cutie patootie!!!

There is that big grin!!

What a learning experiment!!! I don't know what I would have done had Grammie not been there! Thanks Grammie!!! I'll need ya in about 6 months!!
